A GOcD SIGN.-In indianapolis on Mon.
day night the Republicans OF the Indiana
Legislature had a preliminary caucus, at
which, although there were over seventy
members present, nobody was mentioned
for United States Senator except Senator
HARRISON. This Is an indication that the
Democrats will elect the United States
Senator. as no Republican considers it
worth while to compete with HARRISON for
a barren nomination.

THE visions of glory that break in
on me-" said Bickcrsteth, shave been
quite indescribable." Il can find no
words" cried Payson. ''to express my
happiness. seem to be swimming in
river of pleasure which is carrying
me on to the great fountain" In i.
similarly cheering manner did Top
lady, the author of the well-known
hymn, Rock of Ages" bid adieu TO
the feast of life. He seemed. we are
told. to lie in the vestibule of glory.
To friends inquiries he answered.
with sparkling eye: ooh. my dear sir.
! can not tell the comforts feel in my
soul-'hay are past expression. The
consultations of God are so abundant
that they leave me nothing to pray
for. My PRAYERS are all converted
into praise. No mortal can live after
the glories that God has manifested
in my sOul.'
